Ibiza Names the Winner of Its Fourth Red Potato Tortilla Competition

08 November 2026 г.

The team Tot especi has won the fourth Ibiza Red Potato Tortilla Competition, taking first place in a culinary contest that brought together 17 teams in the centre of Ibiza Town on Saturday, 7 November. Pomarines finished second, while Can Marines secured third place.

The competition celebrated one of the island’s traditional ingredients, the Ibizan red potato, alongside locally produced eggs. It formed part of a wider day of food, music and entertainment that also included La Verbenita in Passeig de Vara de Rey.

The event had originally been postponed because of rain and was rescheduled for 7 November.

Tot especi Takes First Place

The winning team, Tot especi, was made up of a group of friends who travelled from Es Cubells to take part.

Their winning tortilla featured a combination of potatoes, caramelised onion and sobrasada. The team explained that they first fried the potatoes with a little garlic, which they subsequently removed. They prepared the onion separately, added the sobrasada and combined everything once the potatoes were cooked.

Their preferred finish was somewhere between runny and fully cooked, with the tortilla described as being neither too raw nor too firm.

Pomarines, a family team named after Joyería Pomar, took second place. Their recipe involved finely sliced potatoes and onion, with the onion cooked first before the potatoes were added. The mixture was left to rest for around ten minutes. Their entry was presented with a softer, runnier finish.

Third place went to Can Marines, whose students decided to enter the competition the day before. Their tortilla followed a simpler recipe, with the team emphasising the quality of the ingredients.

Local Ingredients at the Centre of the Competition

A total of 17 teams participated in this year's edition. The Ibizan red potatoes and huevos payeses used for the competition were supplied by the Consell Insular d’Eivissa under the island's local-product label, Això Sí.

The three winning teams received baskets of local products, with prizes valued at:

  • First place, Tot especi: €350.

  • Second place, Pomarines: €250.

  • Third place, Can Marines: €150.

All participating teams also received a bag containing a selection of Ibiza products valued at €40.

The competition provided an opportunity for residents and groups of friends and families to celebrate local ingredients through one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine.

La Verbenita Brings Music to Vara de Rey

Alongside the tortilla competition, La Verbenita brought a festive atmosphere to Ibiza's town centre.

The musical programme began around midday with the DJs Verbeneros performing in Plaça del Parc. As the afternoon progressed, the celebrations continued along Passeig de Vara de Rey, where La Viviana performed before El Gordo Romero took to the stage with songs for the audience to sing and dance along to.

Later in the evening, El Carmona and Mágico Rodríguez continued the programme. These are the artistic names of Jordi Cardona and Adrián Rodríguez, who are also behind La Verbenita.

The music and dancing continued until the event closed, bringing together the gastronomic competition and a popular music celebration in the heart of Ibiza Town.

The fourth Red Potato Tortilla Competition and La Verbenita combined local food, island produce and live entertainment in a day dedicated to celebrating Ibiza's community and culinary traditions.
